    Better question: Where is the sacred word of Chaos Undivided? You're only delaying the inevitable by clinging to your false messiahs. Nonetheless, unlike the deitys you foolishly worship, who are so quick to condemn and behead, the four great powers are patient, and can wait any length of time for you to realize the one and only real "truth."

    Come, and join me in the embrace of the great powers. All rage is unto Khorne, all desire is unto Slaanesh, all despair is unto Nurgle and all hope is unto Tzeentch. You feed them as they feed you. You already belong to them, whether you accept it or not. I mean, hell, Christ was clearly a sorcerer, so you technically worship them already. Take the final step. Carve an 8-pointed arrow star into the flesh of your belly and give praise! The end is near! #religion

    I get it already, Christians are idiots for believing in a magical beard in the sky and Athiests are idiots for denying the wonder of God's creation?

    Can't we all just accept that we're all goddamn idiots and go back to hating each other over things that really matter, like if they prefer the PS3 over the 360?

    Come on people, we've got to focus on the important things! #religion

    To those wondering what use it is if you can get a Bible for free online or otherwise: Perhaps this can be convenient for those who have poor vision. Likely people with poor vision have large TVs (I bought a 62" TV for my dad who has so-so vision), reading off a large TV may be much more convenient.

    Reading from a book can be difficult for some older people due to shaking hands, strain on eyes, etc.

    On the other hand the price surprises me. If the file is less than 50Mb it can be sold for 80 MS pts. If greater, it can be sold at either 240pts or 400pts.

    Perhaps there is more than just the Bible in this App, perhaps it includes commentary as well as lessons or whatever aids are required for students. That would be much more interesting than just the Bible itself (as a 360 App, not talking about the actual teachings or content). #religion

    I am a Roman Catholic, and I am not sure what Bible we use, but I could always download one for free online in PDF format if I wanted to.

    @n00b_pwner: All I am saying, is the bible is the most violent piece of media in history. It supports misogyny, homophobia and lunacy. Sorry fella's, but the bible is flat out dangerous and it's a shame that delusional people have kept it going for as long as they have. If you really want to prove your point, then kill yourself so you can be with god faster and leave us "heathens" to ourselves. I can guarantee the world will be a much safer place. #religion

    @Tre_Green: We all know that atheists like Josef Stalin, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il, and countless other dictators ensured the world was a safe place.

    Oh wait, each men killed and suffered more than 100,000,000 people combined. Surely a safe place indeed!

    I am not trying to bash you, or support what was "normal" during ancient times when more radical measures were considered acceptable and everyone had a different mindset back then, but don't get into an argument like this. Leave my beliefs alone and stop this flame war before it brews up. #religion

    @Ad-hominem: I was wondering the same thing.
    Should they actually be selling it? What's the money going to be used for?
    Although, I'm guessing there's a fee for putting it up on XBLA. It's all well and good to make the Bible available on another platform but selling it is my main gripe... #religion

    @TexasJack: They're a publisher. Therefore, they can do it. Any random person couldn't just put up a bible, since every version or edition of the bible is different and owned by some person or another.

    There's nothing stopping you from writing a book about a bunch of random scifi crap and then later getting people to believe it's religion, though. Then you can put that on XBL! :D
